Forgiveness is redemption

After Melinda was raped at the party, her life seemed to be covered with a haze that lingered. In the film, the phrase "How long will it take for them to find out that I have stopped talking" is very disturbing. Melinda in the play is expressing How many people really care about her heart when she behaves abnormally? , Under this kind of experience, she knew that escaping would not solve any problems, and that things that were fait accompli had to be faced. But how to face it? The incomprehension of her parents, the indifference of her friends, it seems that the external environment is forcing her into the abyss. This film is really depressing, but I think the protagonist was in such a depressing mood at the time. Fortunately, under the guidance of the art teacher, she gradually faced the incident, gradually forgave the past, and finally met her own. The mother confessed that I think it is the most appropriate time for the film to end at this moment. This moment shows that Melinda's heart has begun to become calm, just like she opened the car window again on the road and enjoyed the long-lost moment, the sunshine, Breeze, pedestrians, in fact, nothing has changed. I think at this moment, she has been released and redeemed. Our mood should also be bright at this last moment.
